Because as techies we fail to recognize that some things are the way they are not for lack of a better alternative, but because of entrenched interests.

I am still amazed that the record industry managed to shut down what was likely to be the next iteration of internet: P2P exchanges. Now we have a centralized youtube solving in a bad way what eDonkey+VLC could have solved for two decades already.
